Rev 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
Rev 14:10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
Rev 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Doesn't really sound like an accident, does it?

The Bible says not to swear. That doesn't mean cussing, though that isn't very nice. It means taking an oath to someone or something. Because this creates something powerful on a spiritual level. And if we break our oath, it will bring the vengeance of the Universe down on us.
I imagine to get the mark of the beast. One will have to swear alliegance to the Beast first. So there probably won't be any way for people not to know what is going on!
Just my opinion of course!

NO. God gave us a Bible that tells us all about what to do to go to Heaven, and what to do to go to hell. IF we dont read it and adhere to it, we have noone to blame but yourselves.
Its not mistae. And God says we either deceide for Jesus or we have chosen for hell, by making no choice. YOu must serve one or the other. When we wont choose for Jesus, we serve the devil, whether we know it or not. Much information aboutall of this, and the only way someone would not know this, is if they ignroe it and dont want to know. So still no accdient. We are all given a measure of faith< God tells us that. and some will run with it and ask more and learn more. Some willy only deny what they have and do all they can to ignore it and turn their backs on any faith in God. Still a choice.
So, if somene rceives the mark of the beast, its because they enver wanted to know God, and they did it to themselves. not ever just a mistake. ALL ChOICE.

Yes. In fact. a corporation( that basically works for the government) have developed a microchip about a millimeter long and a 3/4 of a millimeter thick to be implanted in people's hands or wrists for Identification and financial use. I would be very alluring to all us lazy Americans to want to get this done ( a family in the states already has) think about not have int o carry around a wallet or a purse? Seems pretty good but we must not interpret God's word wrong for it says no man shall no the day or the year of Christs return. But its says not that we will not be able to see the commings of the anti-christ and the false prophet.

The Beast is and was the Papacy. The image of the Beast is religion employing secular power to enforce worship contrary to that described in Gods 10 commandments.
Sun-day worship, as the Papacy did during the dark ages (the light of the word of God was taken away from the people by the church)
The Catholic church claims that it changed the day of worship from Sabbath (Saturday) to the first day (Sunday) and that change is her "MARK" of authority.
To bow down to demand of the church, either by choice (accept, on the forehead) or by force (coercion, on the hand ) is to accept the mark.
In BABYLON on the plain of DURA only three boys stayed loyal to God's command even though there were many other Jews present. And they were willing to die for God.
So it will be in the last days, those who chose to be loyal to God at the peril of their life will be saved

Great potential for a Monty Python sketch there. Bloke walks into an office.
"Excuse me, I was here half an hour ago."
"Oh yes sir"
"Yes. Well I thought this was a nightclub."
"Ohhhhh, no sir, this is the empire of the damned."
"Yes, so I've been told. Well you stamped my hand on the way out so I could get back in."
"Yes sir."
"Or so I thought. Turns out now, I come to find out, this is the mark of the Beast, what lets me buy and sell and do all sorts of things."
"Bargain sir, eh?"
"That's as may be, but it also means I have to worship the anti-Christ and live in perpetual torment for the rest of eternity."
"Oh yes sir. Mandatory, that is."
"But I've made a mistake."
"Yes sir....we get that a lot. Next please..."

"Mark of the Beast" would be great title for a cheap horror flick. In fact if the script were based on you-know-what think of all the box-office boffo with the fundies.

Not for the elect of God.
Many will be deceived into taking this. Because for one reason, most think they will not be here when it is issued out.
